What is the Morton Salt Girl's name? How old is she?
She is known as the Morton Salt Umbrella Girl, or the Morton Salt Girl for short. To us, she’s ageless. But in our historical documents, she has been referred to as an 8-year-old.

How many Morton Salt Girls have there been since 1914?
There have been seven official Morton Salt Girls. She first appeared on the Morton table salt package in 1914 and her image was updated in 1921, 1933, 1941, 1956, 1968 and 2014.

Did Morton come up with the saying, "When It Rains It Pours®"?
Yes. In 1911, Morton created free-flowing salt by adding magnesium carbonate as an absorbing element. Following that, Morton decided to run a series of ads in Good Housekeeping magazine promoting its new product. An ad was developed featuring the little girl carrying the round container and holding an umbrella during a rain shower. The original copy read, "Even in rainy weather, it flows freely." Everyone agreed on the ad's appeal, but thought the copy was too wordy. It was reworded and a new advertising slogan was born!

How can I get nutritional information for Morton food products?
Each food salt product package has a Nutrition Facts Panel on the label.

Which Morton products for food usage are iodized? Which are not iodized?
The following Morton products are iodized:
• Morton® Iodized Table Salt
• Morton® Lite Salt™ Mixture
• Morton®All-Purpose Iodized Sea Salt
• Morton®Iodized Salt & Pepper Shakers

The following are not iodized:
• Morton®All-Purpose Natural Sea Salt
• Morton®Extra Coarse Sea Salt Grinder
• Morton®Extra Coarse Sea Salt Grinder Refill
• Morton®Salt Balance™
• Morton® Canning and Pickling Salt
• Morton® Plain Table Salt
• Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt
• Morton® Popcorn Salt
• Morton® Salt Substitute
• Morton® Sea Salt Fine
• Morton® Sea Salt Coarse

Can water softening products be used for canning or eating?
No, water softening products should not be used for canning or eating.

Which Morton products can be added directly to a koi pond or fresh water?
When salt supplementation is advised, Morton recommends using Morton® Pure and Natural™ or Morton® Canning and Pickling Salt for fish ponds and fresh water aquariums, as these products do not contain additives. Note that it may be advisable to make a solution from the salt before adding it to the pond or aquarium. Please see your fish expert or veterinarian for the proper use of salt in a pond or aquarium.

Which Morton products can be added directly to a salt water aquarium?
For salt water fish, Morton recommends using commercially prepared seawater (marine) mixtures, as they should contain the proper ratio of trace minerals. Morton does not make a product specifically for salt water aquariums. Morton® Pure and Natural™ is not a sea salt obtained from evaporation of ocean water to dryness. It is a higher purity salt, and therefore cannot be used to make seawater for salt water fish without additional trace mineral supplementation. Please consult your fish expert or veterinarian for the proper use of salt in a pond or aquarium.

Which salt(s) can I use in my dishwasher (if it has a built in water softener)?
Always consult your dishwasher manufacturer for specifications regarding the salt used. Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt works well in most models. Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt is a non-iodized, granulated salt compacted into coarse flakes. This product contains a water soluble anti-caking agent.

Which salt can I use to make bath salts? Do you have any bath salt formulas?
Morton recommends using Morton® White Crystal® Solar Salt in coarse and medium grades for bath salts. Morton Salt has no bath salt formulations we can offer.

What is the expiration date for Morton® salt?
Salt itself has no expiration date. However, salt products that contain iodine or seasonings that contain other ingredients such as spices, colors and flavors can deteriorate over time. For more information on this and other expiration questions please visit our Product Expiration Guide

How to tell when your Morton Salt product was produced?
All Morton culinary salts include a manufacture code which can be found on the bottom or the side of the package. The manufacture code is the date on which the product was manufactured. Once you find the code, you only need to focus on the five digits in the middle.

To understand the code on the bottom of your container, first locate that ten-character sequence on your product. An example of the code might read something like RI21005011:

21 = the last two digits of the year of manufacture (2021)
005 = the 5th day of the year (January 5th – Morton uses a Julian date)

This code tells us the product was manufactured January 5, 2021

Once you understand when your product was manufactured, use the guidelines above to understand the optimal timing to use your product.

For a Julian Calendar reference and other expiration information, visit our Product Expiration Guide

What is the best way to store my Morton salt?
We suggest that you store your Morton salt in a cool, dry place, away from where you do your cooking. When this isn’t an option, we suggest storing it in an airtight container. Salt and seasonings should be stored in a cool, dry place to minimize clumping and prolong shelf life. If clumping occurs, simply tap and/or shake the package to break the clumps.

Since I'm allergic to a certain ingredient, how can I find out all the ingredients in your food salts?
All Morton products have an ingredient statement on the label. If you have further questions about specific ingredients, please contact us through Ask Morton Salt

How many mg. of sodium per serving of table salt?
Table salt contains 590 mg. of sodium per 1/4 teaspoon.

How many grains of salt are there in a pound?
There are about 10,000,000 crystals per pound. For additional salt information, visit www.saltinstitute.org.

Why is iodine added to salt? Why is dextrose added to salt?
In 1924 Morton became the first company to produce iodized salt for the table in order to reduce the incidence of simple goiter. Dextrose is added to stabilize the iodide. Iodine is vital to the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and the prevention of goiter. Actually, the amount of dextrose in salt is so small that it is dietetically insignificant. Morton® Iodized Table Salt contains 0.04 percent dextrose or 40 milligrams per 100 grams of salt. Morton® Plain Table Salt contains neither iodine nor dextrose. All Morton Salt products containing potassium iodide are labeled as such.

Why is calcium silicate added to salt?
Calcium silicate is a white, odorless, tasteless, anti-caking agent with no nutritional characteristics. Anti-caking agents absorb moisture inside the package that would otherwise be absorbed by the salt. In this manner, it allows salt to keep its free-flowing characteristics. It is added at less than one half-percent.

When should I use Kosher Salt?
You may use Coarse Kosher Salt in place of table salt in recipes. Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt may be used whenever a coarse flake salt is desired, such as garnishing the rim of margarita glasses; as a topping for bread, rolls, bagels and soft pretzels; or for brining meat and poultry. Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt may also be used to kosher meat and poultry, and in cooking where salt is used to encrust meat, fish or chicken. We do not recommend using Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt in baking recipes, unless used as a topping, where a coarse salt would be desired.

Can I substitute Kosher Salt in a recipe that calls for table salt?
Generally, you may use Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt in place of table salt in recipes. We do not recommend using Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt in baking recipes, unless used as a topping, where a coarse salt would be desired. For general use in teaspoon amounts, use the same amount of Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt as table salt. For amounts greater than a teaspoon, please refer to the Morton Salt Conversion Chart.

What are the differences between Morton® Iodized Salt and Morton® Canning and Pickling Salt?
Morton® Canning and Pickling Salt is a pure granulated salt which does not contain potassium iodide, dextrose or an anti-caking agent. In other words, it does not contain any additives. This salt product can be used in cooking, baking, canning, pickling and for the table. Please note that since there is no anti-caking agent added to Morton® Canning and Pickling Salt, it may form lumps in humid weather or if exposed to moisture. This product is available in four-pound boxes and can be found in your local grocery store. Morton® Iodized Salt contains potassium iodide, dextrose to stabilize the iodide and calcium silicate which is an anti-caking agent. This product is fine for baking, cooking and normal table use. However, since the anti-caking agent in this product is not water-soluble, we do not recommend this salt for some canning recipes as the calcium silicate may settle at the bottom of the jar and the water may cloud. This is really not a problem but it could be an aesthetic issue for some users.

Can Table Salt be used for canning vegetables?
Morton® Iodized Salt contains potassium iodide, dextrose to stabilize the iodide and calcium silicate which is an anti-caking agent. This product is fine for baking, cooking and for the table. However, because the anti-caking agent in this product is not water-soluble, we do not recommend this salt for some canning recipes as the calcium silicate may settle at the bottom of the jar.

Morton® Canning and Pickling Salt is a pure granulated salt which does not contain potassium iodide, dextrose or an anti-caking agent. In other words, it does not contain any additives. This salt product can be used in cooking, baking, canning, pickling and for the table. Please note that since there is no anti-caking agent added to Morton® Canning and Pickling Salt, it may form lumps in humid weather or if exposed to moisture. This product is available in four-pound boxes and can be found in your local grocery store.

Can Morton® Tender Quick be used for canning?
No, Morton® Tender Quick should only be used to cure meats.

Is salt used for other purposes besides cooking and baking?
It has been estimated that salt has 14,000 specific industrial uses. Several hundred of these are direct uses such as food seasoning, curing of animal hides or the preparation of saline solutions for intravenous injection. However, the greatest number of applications is indirect through the use of thousands of chemicals derived from a dozen or so basic chemicals produced from salt. Salt also plays important roles in the manufacture of steel, aluminum components, lubricants, rubber tires, seat covers, vinyl tops, paint removers, soap, textiles, ceramics, inks and dyes to name a few.

Is Morton Ice Cream Salt edible?
Morton® Ice Cream Salt is not intended for food use. You may find edible rock salt at house wares stores where salt grinders are sold.

What is brining?
Brining is soaking meat, poultry or fish in a saltwater solution prior to cooking so it will retain moisture. Brine can be made from water and Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt, Morton® Table Salt or Morton® Canning & Pickling Salt. Learn more about brining in The Ultimate Guide to Brining. For Morton brining recipes, please go to Recipe Search and do a keyword search using the word "brine."

Why can't salt be tinted different colors to make it easy to see on light-colored food?
Over the years, we have received many other suggestions that we market "colored salt." However, to date, all of our research into colored salt has shown that the vast majority of salt users prefer a pure, white product. This is the principal reason we have not marketed such a product.

How can I keep salt from caking?
Even though an anti-caking agent is added to Morton® Table Salt, salt can cake under extreme humidity. If these conditions are experienced, you may wish to keep salt in a Tupperware®-like container or sealed in a plastic bag to prevent the salt from absorbing the moisture from the air.

How many times can you refill the Grinder?
Based on internal research, the grinder mechanism will lose optimal efficiency after 3 refills.

Can you adjust the new grinder settings?
Yes, the new grinders will have 3 settings:
The factory setting of the grinder is a ‘medium grind’
MIN = fine grind
MAX = coarse grind

Grinder usage directions:
• Remove the plastic outer wrap on the top of the container by pulling the plastic down where it is marked ‘tear here to remove top label’
• Remove clear plastic lid by pushing up on the small tab.
• Adjust settings according to your preference.
• Turn the grinder upside down and grind by turning the top of the black cap.

To refill the grinder – while grinder is right side up:
• Remove the cap by holding the bottom glass portion of the container and turning the bottom portion cap to the left.
• Once filled return the cap to the container and turn to the right holding the bottom portion of the black cap until secure
